Any help would be appreciated for my ongoing problem.
When I accelerate hard, the car seems to loose all power and the engine seems to kangaroo hop, but not severely. Gentle acceleration is fine, up to point. The car idles great, is fine if the revs are kept below 3,500. It has on different occasions just died, has run very lumpy and has had a small backfire, but these symptoms are rare.
I've put a new afm on it (multimeter test showed it was not 100%), new petrol pump, fuel filter, coil, rotor arm and amplification booster. The throttle position sensor has tested ok. I cant see any shorting on the ht leads. The dizzy cap is ok.
Does this look like a fuelling problem, as my next line of investigation will be the fuel pressure regulator? Or could it be something else.
Cheers.

Possibly already done when afm was changed but have you checked the hose from plenum to afm for a split which could open up as the engine torque comes on?
It has the act induction hose kit on it
